Politicians, key figures react to Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade

today is *** it's not hyperbole. It suggests *** very solemn moment today. The Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away. The constants were right from the american people that has already recognized. They didn't limit it. They simply took it away has never been done to right. So important to so many americans. But they did it. It's *** sad day for the court and for the country. 50 years ago, Roe v Wade was decided. It has been the Law of the land. Since then. This landmark case protecting *** woman's right to choose her right to make intensely personal decisions with her doctor, free from from an interference of politics, It reaffirmed basic principles of equality that women have the power to control their own destiny. And it reinforced *** fundamental right of privacy, right of each of us to choose how to live our lives. Now with Rogan must be very clear. The health and life of women in this nation are now at risk as chairman and ranking member of the senate judiciary committee as vice president. Now as President of the United States, I've studied this case carefully. I've overseen more Supreme Court confirmations than anyone today. Where this case was always discussed. I believe Roe V wade was the correct decision as *** matter of constitutional law and application of the fundamental right to privacy and liberty and matters of family and personal autonomy was the decision on *** complex matter through *** careful balance between *** woman's right to choose earlier in her pregnancy and the state's ability to regulate later in her pregnancy. *** decision with broad national consensus, the most americans of faith and backgrounds found acceptable that had been the law of the land for most of the lifetime of americans today and it was *** constitutional principle upheld by justices appointed by democrats and republican presidents alike. Roe v Wade was *** 7-2 decision written by justice appointed by *** republican president. Richard Nixon. In the five decades that followed Roe V wade. Justices appointed by Republican presidents from Eisenhower Nixon, Reagan George W. Bush were among the justices who voted to uphold the principles set forth in Roe V wade. It was three justices named by one President Donald trump were the core of today's decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate *** fundamental right for women in this country. Make no mistake. This decision is *** combination of *** deliberate effort over decades, upset balance of our law. It's *** realization of an extreme ideology and *** tragic error by the Supreme Court. In my view, the court has done what has never done before, expressly take away *** constitutional right. It is so fundamental, so many americans that had already been recognized. The court's decision to do so will have real and immediate consequences. State laws banning abortion are automatically taking effect today, jeopardizing the health of millions of women, some without exceptions so extreme that women could be punished for protecting their health so extreme that women and girls were forced to bear their rapist child. The child of consequence. It just it just stuns me so extreme that doctors will be criminalized for fulfilling their duty to care. Imagine having young woman have to carry the child of incest as *** consequence of incest. No option too often the case, poor women are going to be hit the hardest. It's cruel. In fact, the court laid out state laws criminalizing abortion That go back to the 1800s as rationale the court literally Taking America Back 150 years. This is *** sad day for the country in my view, but it doesn't mean the fight's over. Let me be very clear and unambiguous. The only way we can secure *** woman's right to choose the balance that existed is for Congress to restore the protections of roe v wade as federal wall. No executive action from the president can do that. And of Congress as it appears, likes to vote to vote to do that. Now voters need to make their voices heard this fall. We must elect more senators and representatives who will codify woman's right to choose in the federal law. Once again elect more state leaders. To protect this right at the local level. We need to restore the protections of Roe as law of the land. We need to elect officials who will do that this fall row is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot, the right to privacy. Liberty, equality. They're all on the ballot. Until then, I will do all of my power to protect *** woman's right in states where they will face the consequences of today's decision. Well, the court's decision cast *** dark shadow over large swaths of the land. Many states in this country still recognize *** woman's right to choose. So if *** woman lives in *** state that restricts abortion, The Supreme Court's decision does not prevent her from traveling from her home state to the state that allows, it does not prevent *** doctor in that state and that's safe from treating her. As the Attorney General has made clear, women must remain free to travel safely to another state to seek care. They need. My administration will defend that bedrock right any state or local official, high or low try to interfere with *** woman's exercise and our basic right to travel. I will do everything in my power to fight that deeply un american attack. My administration will also protect *** woman's access to medications that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA like contraception, which is essential for preventative health care Press Stone, Which FADA approved 20 years ago to safely and early pregnancies. And it's commonly used to treat miscarriages. Some states are saying that they will try to ban or severely restrict access to these medications. But extremist governors and state legislators are looking to block the mail or search the person's medicine cabinet or control of women's actions by tracking data on her apps she uses are wrong and extreme and out of touch with the majority of americans. The american Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists wrote to me and Vice President Harris stressing that these laws are not based on are not based on evidence and asking us to act to protect access to care, they say, by limiting access to these medicines, maternal mortality will climb in America. That's what they say. Today, I'm directing the Department of Health and Human Services to take steps to ensure these critical medications are available to the fullest extent possible. And the politicians cannot interfere in the decisions that should be made between *** woman and her doctor and my administration remained vigilant as the implications of this decision play out. I've warned about how this decision risks the broader right to privacy for everyone. That's because roe recognized the fundamental right to privacy that has served as *** basis for so many more rights that have come to take. We've come and take for granted that are ingrained in the fabric of this country. The right to make the best decisions your health, the right to use birth control *** married couple in the privacy of their bedroom for God's sake. The right to marry the person you love justice thomas said as much today. He explicitly called to reconsider the right of marriage equality, the right of couples to make their choices on contraception. This is extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on. Let me close with two points First, I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision to keep all protests peaceful, peaceful, peaceful, peaceful, no intimidation, violence is never acceptable. Threats and tim and intimidation are not speech. We must stand against violence in any form regardless of your rationale. Second, I know so many of us are frustrated and disillusioned that the court has taken something away. That's so fundamental. I know so many women are now going to face incredibly difficult situations. I hear you, I support you. I stand with you, consequences and the consensus of the american people. Core principles of equality, liberty, dignity and the stability of the rule of law demand that rose should not have been overturned with this decision. The conservative majority of the Supreme Court shows how extreme it is, how far removed they are from the majority of this country. It made the United States an outlier among developed nations in the world. But this decision must not be the final word. My administration will use all of its appropriate lawful powers. But Congress must act and with your vote, you can act. You can have the final word. This is not over. Thank you very much more to say this in weeks to come

The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. The decision is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.Video above: President Biden speaks on overturned abortion rightsHere's what politicians and other key figures are saying in response: President BidenPresident Biden said during a press conference on Friday, "Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized … That has never been done to a right so important to so many Americans.
